Connection between Buddhism and Confucianism
Buddhism and Confucianism, both are the most influential philosophies in the Asia, inevitably, have some connection between them.
Both of them emphasize manners, which mean human being should behave well according to the social order. This is important in the ancient time because it can improve our quality and make people easy to administrate. Moreover, they don’t accept external authority and divinity. They believe human should be enlightened by themselves instead of receiving knowledge all from the outside.

Kant: he doesn't believe the existence of God.That is the same as what Emerson believe.Moreover,his thought is to think ovjective subjectively.I think it's kind of fitting to the Man Thinking.We should use our own minds to think everything,especially to think it deeply.
Hinduism:Hinduism is peaceful,they are quite positive about the world.However...........................I don't understand what is connection with Emerson..............

Quiet Geese, Peaceful life
As a human, I can see, fell, touch, and hear things in this world.Geese, which is also a member in the world. When they barked, I can hear them although I can’t understand it. When I hear it, I know I am alive. I can have my thought about what they are talking about. Even though I was lost sometimes, wondering why and what I have done. It makes me I am not attached to this world. The Geese, which is swimming on the lake, calms me down. Most of the time, they stay in the quiet water alone or with their friends. They seem satisfied with their lives always. If I were them, I would have a better life which is peacefully and happily.

An atheistic perspective of the world
as an atheist, I think I try to view the world as adiaphorous as possible. Whatever we meet before, no matter whether it is bad or not, things have two sides. For example, if I get an 80 in my test, which may a very easy one; of course I will fell upset, but when you think it in a different side, you will find new things which may impress you, help you much more than your happiness of your 100.You may go over the exam very carefully, find out how and where did you do wrong; moreover, with deep thinking, you will find out why you did these mistakes and how to correct them. It is not only a setback but a progress.
I use almost the same way to feel such a fantastic and complicated world. Every day, different things happen around us, it is too tired and foolish for us to think of them as if they are insignificant to us. In this world, everything is related to us. Don’t overlook tiny thing such as ant. We can use our little finger to press them to die without shaking. Its death is inessential to us, however, it may be the one who sent to find food or new castle for its whole community, the community can be died away for its death. Or it is a poisonous ant; our finger may get disabled for such a tiny death.
The nature is not only for human beings, but for the whole creation in the world. Everything will be related to us in some extent and in some days. Don’t be distant with the nature. Try to feel the creation as your relatives, they are part of you, they help you without informing you and hurt by you but not telling you. Once you feel, see, smell, listen to things with your heart, you will find everything around you is the sweet on the table, water on the desert, and the 100 on the paper.
What are important to your life are our attitudes to the world. To have a wonderful world is to have a good attitude to your world.

Nature
In Emerson's opinion, nature is good for human beings. Nature, in the common sense, refers to essences unchanged by man.So; nature is the basis of us and gives us everything. Every second we live in the world, that is the gift of the nature.Actually, he thinks few people can see nature, they just use it and despite it. No matter how much they exploit and how bad it is, they think nature is not related to them directly so they don't need to understand what nature is.
I think his perspective is believable although it may be too philosophical, so it might not be realistic. In the world, it is hard for common people to understand, even want to understand what nature is .This fact may be too theatrical and too behind us. Nature is unshaped, it can't be understand totally and being studied totally. It might change at every moment no matter human beings do to predict them. Nature is above us, it creates us and make law,namely,science to control our life .If we disobey the law, the disaster will come to us, nature is brute and fast;however,at the meantime, it let us behave ourselves and shape our soul.

Fate
In my opinion about what Emerson's view is we can shape our behavior and refine our soul to have the power to deal with the nature. Even though nature is immense and mighty, it can destroy human beings as to destroy flies; what we can do is to believe in fate is good to us ,with our faith to we can get guard by fate, we can do things better to change our life.
Obviously, fate is believed by many people. They neither change it nor betray, never and never. In some special cases, which are famous but rare, the strong-minded people make progress as they believe in fate. I think they must trust themselves before they trust the fate. They think they are unique and excellent, to do great deal in their lives which are predeterminated by the fate. So they become more excellent even though they used to meet some plight, they believe they can overcome it because they are the guys ordered by the fate. In short, they are fighting for themselves but for the fate.However, on the other hand, it is a disaster for frail people to believe in fate. Once they do it, it is a disaster for them. They would become hopeless as they think the failure to them is unchangeable, they should be, and must be like that .In the situation; they are controlled by the fate.

Today we talked about our community again, but it changed because of what we read before. There are several types of communities we have read, religious, environment, and politics communities.Basically, their function and difference can be told from their name, and I want to talk about the difference between the communities base on different types of resource.
As Narthex use the natural resource basically, so they are more reliable but tougher. The community live with the resource which is ready may seem more advanced and convienent, but they may be harmful sometimes.
Values of three different communities
Puritans:
Puritan community pursues both moral purity down to the smallest detail as well as ecclesiastical purity to the highest level. Puritan culture emphasized the need for self examination and the strict accounting for one’s feelings as well as one’s deeds.
So puritan's value is that they insist on purity and order.
Native Americans:
Native Americans live as nearly the same as the aboriginal live in other parts of the earth. The nature condition determine whether they will live comfortably or live toughly .So they cherish what the nature has given them, although it might not comes from their true minds. As a result, they seldom waste food and water even though it is plenty in that point.
So the value of Native Americans is that their frugality.
Ben Franklin:
Ben Franklin is the founder of Usher is the model of so many American even though years past. He seeks to be a perfect person. To achieve his goal, he makes a cruel list of himself, and the point is he was trying to perfect himself throughout his life.
So the value of Been Franklin is his industry.

Man thinking
Everyday, we learn different kinds of things. These kinds of things may come from books, people around us, but the deepest and intricate ones come from nature. Nature is our cradle, when we are born, we hear and see something from the nature, and then get to know them. Through learning things from nature, we can become more mature and placid. Nature is like an exquisite song which can shape our crossover mind to make us become more like her. Try to imagine, after a day work, go back home and look at the environment aroung, confused us will get a magical feeling that make us calm down and make us use the positive side to think of our life.
On the other hand, the complex society makes us get confused too. In the school, we learn knowledge about textbook, learn how to deal with the relationship between teachers and students, learn how to forgive and so on. Too often, we give up being successful to live in the society, at that moment, the nature save us.
I think the views above are part of the Man Thinking. Man thinking should be concerned by people of course, what people can do? Is it only copy the knowledge from the text book or recite the history book? Of course not. People create as "blank slate”, we learn everything new and different from others, it is possible, and necessary for us to make up our own mind to create our thought and view about the world, or we are just robots. To get rid of copying others, we should rational about things instead of believing in so-called experts and our friends without thinking deeply.

Self-Reliance
It is hard to sentence being self-reliance to be a bad thing or not. Trace back to the history, a lot of green figures are kind of self-reliance. As a success man, they should insist on what they are working on and thinking about, it would be cut in the half way if they succumb to the commoner's word.Sometimes, it would be hard for others who are the commoners to understand what they are doing. For examble, Issac Newton, one of the best scientist in the world .When he was a little child, he started thinking about why the apple would fall down but not rise up.Obviously, this is a silly question which is questioned by a stupid guy even for us who are in such a modern world.However, he insisted on it, and finally excogitated Newton's law and Gravitation to explain his silly apple! How amazing it is! If I were him, I must have given up this idea for the people's comment and suspicion of me, for I am not self-reliance enough to deal with them. From this case, it tells us being self-reliance can be the key to accomplish great work which is not done nor studied before and seemed to be foolish; with self-reliance, we can travel in our minds without interruption and doubt, as if we are the Buddhist who is doing meditation, focusing on one thing so that it can be done more efficient.
It is not that easy to control this kind of sense, even if you are smart and self-possessed people. Look at Newton again, although his former-life is full of realistic and excellent scientific theories, he became too self-reliance so he started studying something more theatrical which he may regard it as more advanced science which is religion. It is such a pity he gave up his science and was engaged in religion such a fantasy. In the real world, some self-reliance people are like Newton, they become isolated from the real world and focus on what they think is right. It does not only harmful to their business but their personalities. At the begining, they may just think of some crazy fantasy stuff and not concentrate on other things, afterward, they may even become isolated from outside, becoming silent; what is worse, they think up some bad thought and finally do it in the real world.

Human Trait
in Rip Van Winkle, there are kinds of people, most of them are industrious and enthusiastic about politics, and some of them are mean and selfish. People become to concern about politics is supposed to be a good thing,however,if this behavior go too fast, it may cause many unreasonable suspicions among people.So,I want to talk about unbelieving human nature.
Suspicion should not exist in the primordial time, people were open to each other, they stay in peace and happiness, there is even no crime and conflict among them.However,since the society is improving, people become greedy, to achieve their goal, they are always suspicious of others. As a result, there is an unseen gap among people, people start to hide themselves deeper, and doubt and jealousy are filled in the society. For example, it is hard for us to imagine this happened during my elementary school time. The class was a warm family at first, however, after a trimester, the girls broke into groups and somehow they started intriguing against each other. Nevertheless that was done behind us, they became more outward. No matter their behavior hurts others or not, it did make our class into chaos. Classmates seem not to believe anyone any more, it was no longer for us to organize them to make some party or class activities. In a short, it is a disaster that that happens in such an immature community. From that, we can conclude suspicion can be very devastating. It is a main reason for the instability of the society, it is the result of the bad mind of human, and at last, it will bring some disasters to us, to destroy such an untruthful society.

We talked about the vocabulary we will meet on the exam.
And we talked about the repetitive of different things such as eagle represents American. Such things contain some deep meaning through their name, and people would like to use them to describe themselves too.

Significance of the passage
I think, in this passage, John Locke tells us that if man cans things without laws, they may go too far and only concern about themselves. It will make the society spate and dangerous; esperically, if the king's power was not limited or supervised by law but nature law. In the long time, in this chaotic order, the society was usually controlled by a remiss king, however, although people would finally know what they should do to deal with the problem, with the inheritance of the throne, they could not do anything because they would think the king was appointed by God. That is a good but ridiculous reason for the so-called monarch to save their throne.So,John Locke reminded us that we should establish a government even if there is a king, that was supervised by law so that to make the society harmonious.

Historical context
what we have read so far, are basically based on religion and political figures. For example, Cotton Mather and Jonathan Edward, who are two of the most important puritan and Christian religions figures in America history.Also,in the past years, religion were usually used with political motive. Benjamin Franklin, who was one of the founder of U.S, didn’t believe religion can stay in government so that it would interrupt government's policies and justice.Also, he is the model for the other three, although they were all excellent figures in American literature; they thought Benjamin Franklin's virtue was gracious especially for his saving of time.Then, Thomas Paine, supporter of American, is guided of the ideas which made out of others make together. John Locke, who published two treatises on government, was the creator of the ideas of American constitution. His ideas of free press, equal rights before law, influence the following generation in Europe, even in America.
Also, what we read is a process which proves the oral literature to written literature. In Native American literature and the other literature which were written, they were different. The oral literature seems more candid. The written literature carries more personal emotion

Learning is perfecting
as being a member in a community, everyone has his own responsibility to make it better. To make it, we should learn more about others and learn as wide as we can so that we can perfect it in each aspect.Also, even if a little Chile has his own mind, but it bases on his living environment. Human is born as a "blank slate”, only the knowledge from the circumambience can shape our mind.
There are uncountable and various communities in the society; there is not a perfect community too. Everyone has its forte and shortcoming. So it is necessary to learn about other communities to perfect ours. For example, every day I read the news, it is a way to learn about other communities and get the information we need. Sometimes it does us our community.Also; it is more direct to learn from other country. Country is more complicated than a community which we concern the most. And it is easy to find "stars or dots" from a country because country's characteristic is obvious such as U.S is more democratic but cultural than China. North Korean is as radical as Iran. People can judge if a country has done wrong and why it did that from different aspect. Through the analysis we did, we can get more and deep views and syncretism it with those we have gotten right now.
We can get knowledge through learning. As John Lock believed, human was born as "blank slate”, it means we know nothing as a new-born baby. While we are born, we learn things in the first second, it is amazing. How and why new-born babies want to learn? It is human nature. In this complicated society, we get so many information everyday, and we need to select what we need so that we won’t get confused and form a wrong mind. Although we can filtrate information ourselves, it doesn't work all the time. There are crimes everyday, those cases result from their education and what types of information they get in the daily life. If a teen often stays with some immature and fainéant friends, they are getting bad information even though he think he has take out the bad things; it means people often form mind without realizing it. So different types of knowledge can affect people to be good or bad, conservative or radical.
In a short, learning from others is the best way to perfect our community if we can filtrate information well. In the same time, we can learn things from different aspects from a country or other communities easier and deeper.

Today we talked about the universe.Universe is consisted of galaxies.Why and how the universe created?That is an impossible mission.Although Newton has explained how the gravity control the planet movement,there are a lot of questions to be answered still.Astronomy is not as important as before,however,it is the basic of religion and human beings.

How would I change our government if I could
if I could change my government in China? I would make it more transparent, it means that we have more rights to supervise the running of the government and the government should do the best to make it clear to all of the people. In a long time, Chinese didn't get rid of the corrupted and relatively feudal govenment.The bureaucratic deeply hurt the growth of reformation and opening to China. Although in the seaboard and several inland provinces, the economic grows fast, most the further province has not been opened up yet. It resulted from government.
Another one is to build up the achieved social security. In China, over 50% people are farmer who gain no more 10000 rib every year. What’s more, in the poor area where are at least 50% of the whole country, people are not able to deal with the basic medical treatment and the annuities.
At last, to concern more about our generation, I want to change education system which is examination-oriented and lack of creation. That is one of the reasons why Chinese seldom get noble prize in science even though Chinese do well in the test all over the world.

These two days we talked about John Locke, who is the most important advocate during the Enlightenment and wrote his famous discourses.
My initial reaction about the “treatise of two government"
To be honest, it is one of the deepest article I have ever read. What I apprehend so far is that he is trying to figure out the inheritance from the fatherhood and their posterities. For a long time, why the properties are always inherited from father to the sons especially to the eldest son? Does the government makes the law or even is ordered by the god? As said in the passage, it results from the nature law; it is the regulation which formed as the timed proved. As same as the inheritance between fatherhood, it is between Adam and his so-called sucessor, princes.However, it is impossible for humans to accept the authority that takes over them without command and vote. For this reason, the sovereign should be in charge of the people that were agreed by most of the people. Only that can convince the society in order and guarantee common's due rights.

Deism might be the most popular and compellent hypothesis for hundreds of years.For its moderation ,it is acceptable and believed by many people.In fact,it does fit into this period .Although technology is growing fast,many people still need religion to support themselves.To satify themselves but not violate the science,Deism seems like the best choices.
Scientific Revolution,which changed the history of the human beings,was the period created by many intelligent scientist who even died from their insistance on their opinion.That era was really amazing,no one will ever expect there is a revolution emerge in the future.Thousands of undiscoverd things were identified and predicted,it wholly changed people's minds and habits.

Today We talked about our community again,but it changed because of what we read before.There are several types of communities we have read,religious,environment,and politics communities.Basically,their function and difference can be told from their name,and I wanna tlak about the difference between the communities base on different types of resource.
As NA,they use the natural resource basically,so they are more reliable but more tougher.The community live with the resource which is ready may seem more advanced and convienent,but they may be harmful sometimes.
Values of three different communities
Puritans:
Puritan community pursue both moral purity down to the smallest detail as well as ecclesiastical purity to the highest level.Puritan culture emphasized the need for self examination and the strict accounting for one’s feelings as well as one’s deeds.
So puritan's value is that they insist on purity and order.
Native Americans:
Native Americans live as nearly the same as the aboriginal live in other parts of the earth.The nature condition determine weather they will live comfortablly or live toughly .So they cherish what the nature has given them,although it might not comes from their true minds.As a result,they seldom waste food and water even though it is plenty in that point.
So the value of Native Americans is that their frugality .
Ben Franklin:
Ben Franklin is the founder of U.S.He is the model of so many American even though years past.He seek to be a perfect person. To achieve his goal,he make a cruel list of himself,and the point is he was trying to perfect himself throughout his life.
So the value of BFen Franklin is his industry.

Today it's the last day before fall break,everybody seems so excited. In class,we talked about B.Franklin finally.First,we reviewed what we have looked about his autobiography .In his autobiography,we can know how serious-minded he is .He pursued to be perfect,so he made a list about what kinds of things he should or should not do.For example ,order,which is the most important personality Bj wanted.In his "fault form",it is always appeared the most times.He is a very smart ,succesful man and knows many foreign languages.He is the founder of U.S,so throughtout what we read last week,CM and JE also regard him as their model.BJ,from his autobiography,he try to take his responsibility for community,he want to be the model and lead his community to a new future.That's what we need to learn.

Today We talked about some thinkers and some maximes."No Pain No Gain" is one of my favorite maximes.I believe,nobody succeed without effort.Cotton Mather ,Edward and Franklin,they are always working hard to make their idea come true.They try to save every second,that's what I need to do exactly.Then We talked about confucius,who is most influencing thinker in China's history

What a beautiful day,today I had a class on the lovely grass.First ,we talked about how we can think of just one thing.I think it isn't a tough job if we concentrate enough.My answer to the next question is "fall break".Although it is just 5 days,I am eager to be welcomed for its arrival.And then,Mr Maddox asked what we shall do if we get one more extra month.I want to learn one instrument during that month.When I was a child,I was not interested in instruments and didn't think it useful.When I grew up,I know it is important but I realized I didn't have enough time to learn it.That is one the things I regret not to do.

Spring Festival
Spring Festival,which has been existed in China for thousands of years.Originally,it was held for scare the year monster in the beginning of the year.But as time passed,it changed.In the Spring Festival,people have a long holiday,during it,people often drop by relatives and give lucky money to their children.It is a really good chance for guys who are busy always for a year.Parents can spend lots of time with their children,students can relax for a while although they need to study anyway.
Lucky money means the adult bless the children to grow up happily and healthy.Although its meaning can't depend on how much it is ,many adult give as much as they can because they don't want to lost their faces.So,it may "hurt" a lot of adult's purse during this period.
Couplet ,pieces of paper about poems written by brush pen.This kind of poems often mean to bless for a new year. Substaintially,the meaning of spring is changed deeply and widely,it is good.

Purpose behind the writing
From the things we read and write,I think there are something common in them.In my opinion,they all state what's our responsibilities to our community.In creation story and environmental literature,they write about how our human beings have destroyed the environment as well as have hurt ourselves.Moreover,Cotton Mather and Jonathan Edwards shows how our mankind use religious power to hurt ourselves although these two articles seem crazy.We mainly talked about community and religious problem these days.These two types of questions are related to our daily life.Culture difference sometimes make something unpleasant happen,especially the society around us is consist of different cultures,if we don't deal with these two problems well,it will be bad for us.
However,although there are something common in this writting,they don't mean to tell everything the same and use the same ways to tell us the authors opinions.In these texts,they basically tells something bad with lots of stories or details such as data,appearance and emotion.I don't think they really mean to answer their own questions;instead,they have already formed their own opinions and trying to tell us,that 's why they created this kind of writing.Yet they are almost descriptive articles,they are different in some ways.For example,the Native Americans creation stories,animal stories uses the relationship between human beings and myths to show the consequence for what we have done and to warn us.In these stories,although we are not the leading actors,the animal represent us.So,it is a indirect way to show their purpose.Cotton Mather and Jonathan Edwards,it states the foolish events with specific person's career so that we can see what happen through this person's life.At last,environmental literature, shows the author's opinion directly with data and dialogs.It is more easy for us to understand .
In short,although they shows things in different ways,they all tells us what we should do and what we have done.

What is your responsibility to your religious community?
In this paticular community,everybody should behave themselves more strictly because of the particularity of religious community.Religious community,which is more easy to cause conflict with each other or witch other communities which has difference beliefs.First of all,we should protect our communities from being involved in conflict and keeping peaceful.Second,if we insist something right,although it may be against our religion ,we should tell them to our communities to lead it to a right way.Or we should advocate our religion to others if it is right.
Why do we believe in things we can't prove?
As a common person,I believe in things which are read in the newspaper,told by others,heard from Tv,actually,what I believe is not I have seen.I think these kinds of things are deeply rooted,at least rooted since our mind's haven't been grew enough so that we are more easy to be influenced.On the other hand,we needn't believe everything proved,such as religion .Religion has its own idea,which is ideology,so it is impossible to prove.More important,we just need to believe in the things which we think are good for us ,not hurt other's interest,that is enough.
we talked about both positive and negative things about religion.

Today we talked about Cotton Mather ,which is a very famous for his accomplishment of religion.Then we talked about witchcraft.Witchcraft may be one of the most unbelieveable disaster in human's history.So many people died from it ,being accused of witchcraft even though they just met them once.It was a really long story,subsequently,religion involed in it too,it became even worse.However,where is the word "witch" from?It doesn't come from bible.Who creat it ?Why it will be existed in this world?Does it exist just for bewitch and destroy human beings?

Who decides what we believe? And why do we trust those people
I think no one can decide what we believe because we are human being,we have our own idea,to decide what we should do and believe for ourselves.When we are growing up,a lot of elements influence our minds,they partly control what we believe,even though it can't be seen.The people who influence us the most are our parents.We have been breathed into their thought since we are just a baby,who is more likely to adopt new things.In our childhood,we think what our parents think is right,they decides what we believe successfully.As growing up,we have our own thought,their thought no longer control us,but still influence us.What we do,is to digest these two thoughts to form our own views.We get different ideas from many kinds of medias,such as newspaper,Tv and Internet.Moreover,we access the ideas more from the people talk to us.Usually,the people we respect give us more important thought.So it is undoubted our point of views are often similiar with the respectful people a certain extent.In my opinion,it is our responsbility to persuade the people in our community not to accept the tortuose thought.
As a pagan,I don't agree with most the conversation which are made by the so-called religious leaders.Every religious leader,actually,make speeches for his interest group.It is hard for them to say winged words.However,sometimes they are representative of justice,so we must use our heads to think it over whether thay said is right or not.Never trust all the words from one person,no one is perfect,what we need to do is to try to be level-headed.

How is our community shaped by physical forces
Physical forces,as a touchable feeling,can influence people directly and rapidly.In our daily lives,we often do something which has been influenced by the physical forces although we knew it.Sometimes,we can't get rib of it because who put on the force are so strong that we can only to obey them.This kind of change will arose us to resist,or just be rebellious in mind.So when we are in this course,we and people around us know what we are thinking about and may have the same idea at that moment.That how our community shaped by physical forces,although this kind of shaping won't last long or deep-rooted because of its way to shape us.We have just been shaped the mind which is shallow and easy influnced,if there is another force added,it will change soon.
More important way to shape our community is supernatural forces.For my own part,it means something invisivle,ideaistic and slow-spread.I think religion is a kind of supernatural force.It exist in our daily,it isn't felt as clearly as physical forces.Although it is seen everyday,but people seem not to care about it ,more specificly speaking,it seem not to concern about their benefit directly,so people won't pay so much attention to it.However,religion influnce us since we are baby,even when we are still in our mother's belly.It spread its idea to us all our lives,even though we seem not to pay attention to it,in fact,we have been changed deeply.This kind of shaping change our personality and attitude toward things.It change out lives foundamentally.Basically,what kind of our community depends on how we are affected by the supernatural forces.

Today,we talked the thing that I scare a lot ,fot it is in English--poem.Although this poem is not a very difficult one,it confused me a lot.When classmates were discussing about the "white",I realized that there was a deep meaning behind it,that was what I neglected.Nowadays,these two color races are identified "white" and "black",because of white means noble in the literature,that is how the white to regard themself better than the black man ,who means evil and dirty. And in this poem,the writer use hyperbole to show his regret and confused.He don't know how he can become white,which means he can wash off his guilty.

Oct 1 China aniversary!!!!
Today we have a class on the grass,it may be the gift for the China's aniversary!
First,we reviewed Maya Angelou's speech.She can make such a great speech because of her experience and intelligence,practice makes perfect.Also,lots of student still don't like her book,even herself,but it is unreasonable.It is impossible to be disrespective to such a great black woman.Then we talked about some early american stuff such as "bussiness man and priest,which is more important?"I think preiest is more important too,for they change native american's and immigrant's mind to creat such a cosmopolitan culture in U.S

What Make Literature Timeless
In this world,there are uncountable books can be seen in the bookstores every day;however,the timeless books are only a small part of them.What is the common element included in these timeless books?
In this world,there are uncountable books can be seen in the bookstores every day;however,the timeless books are only a small part of them.What is the common element included in these timeless books?
In the middle ages,the famous books was always finished while the society was reforming or changing.There are always some deep meaning in these books.For example,the books written by Shakespeare always show how the coruption deal with the society.meanwhile,it can be what the people think in that specific period.Shakespeare's opinions in the books not only arose the people in the same era but also show the facts in his time to following generations.So,it is no doubt why his literatures are still famous in this modern world.Literates study his books because of its meaning,what teacher teach and what students learn is it meaning throughout the books.Obiviously,without the meaning in his books,that would be some pieces of waste paper.
It seems all the books have their own meaning,however,not all the meanings can make the books timeless.At present,many books sell well because of the meaning or the knowledge in it,but they can't be timeless books,they will be cleared away from people's mind little by little.Why it would happen?It is hard to identify what meaning in the book can make it timeless.In my opinion,it must reflect the phenomenon in its specific era,and it must deliver its meaning with great literary value such its creative story,beautiful sentencens or visual figures.
Generally speaking,not all the timeless books being timeless depend on the meaning throughout the book,but with the fantastic literary value.It is no doubt that the books have deeply educative meaning can be last forever,humans' progress are achieved from it in a certain extent.
In friday class,we talked about our feeling about Maya Angleou's speech last night,it seemed not much people inspired on her speech,maybe it is kinda boring for us.Then we talked about what make literature timeless again.I still think the meaning behind the book makes it timeless such as Confucius,what he wrote was with not much literary value but with a lots of meaning in it,so it last since now and spread over the world.

My viewpoints about this essay.
This is really a interesting essay ,because what we see and hear always are to decrease using fossil fuel.However,this essay leads us to a new viewpoint,to show why his standpoint sis right.But I don't agree what he says in this essay."Data cheats sometimes",it is the feeling I thought of after reading it.As a person live in this world for not a short time,I have enough evidence to support global warming caused by carbon dioxide.From the data and model we get,it is the main reason even though what he get from sattlite and bloons are different.Furthermore,he said climate changing is common in this earth and will benefit us.What do you think if you have seen the island countries was flood from the rise of water,and so many species become extinct because of the degree?So,I think,seeing is believing,we can't conclude all the things from the data or from the history.
Another thing I want to talk about is the benthamism the man is.From all of the paragraphs,what he supports always concern about money.For example,he thinks we shouldn't take the global warming serious because it is costly.In my opinion,if everybody think in the way likes him,the environment will become worse for sure,in addition,people will become more selfish for they always use money as a standard to consider things.To make far-reaching influence,we should not consider things for temporary profit only.I think seeking in the Mars is a very important problem we should figure out,for example,the sources are becoming less and they will be used up in not a long time.If we don't get more imformation about outer spaces,what can our offspring do with that,just wait to die?
Although I don't agree with this essay,there are some viewpoints still useful ;for example,using other measure machine to study things,think over problem in the other side.

My reaction about "Why We Don't Give a Damn"
When I finished reading it,my feeling was"It's exactly what I do and think everyday ."Although global warming is an unquestionable and devastateing problem now,and people also express their concern about this ;however,it is still increasing quicklier.Even if I am teenager,I have already known human's selfishness .In our daily lives,we often discuss about some political problem or environmental problem seriously,but what we do is totally different from what we say and think.In the other hand,people would like to shrik their responsbilities to the famous people,because it can decrease their guilty through this.Bush is a typical example.People comdemn him for his insisting of using fuel fossils while he says he'd like to improve the environment.Also,through the global warming ,we can find out what does so-called professor do .Many professors publish books or announce news just to please the readers,make themselves more authoritative;few of them study what we need virtually and come out with some solutions to that. Moreover,polician often emphasize they will manage to solve the environmental,While it is a rubber check after their victories.
It seems impossible to change humans to modify their own mistakes,yet it is changing at present.More and more people devote them selves to protect the environment while others are advocating all over the world.These power influnce the goverment at last;for example ,European countries are protecting the environment in practice.Meanwhile,the devoloping countries start to consider environmental problem as their states policies.In China,the goverment make effort to stop the pollution increasing from factories by laws.Essentially,to solve this self-implicted problem,everybody should take part in it.Not only to advocate it but also to do it ourselves.Stop complaining about others,find the problem from ourselves,it is the only way to solve the problem essentially.
What else,we talked about noble savagery(I am not sure whether it is right or not.)
In my opinion,people have shortage and strongpoint,sometimes they are evil,but they may be angle while you hate them.It depends.

Today is parent's open day,we only have 20minutes for each class,I like it.
In English class ,we reviewed what we have learned so far because there are 2 guests from Germany.In the end of the discussion,we talked about China economic.Lucar's father said there is no rule in China,that was not entirely true.In China,although there is incomplete law,many factories want make money through jerry-build instead of increse their brand reputation and invention.But everything is changing in China,more company follow the forrign succesful ones to build up their power.

We were used to have class outside now.
We have talked about written language for 3 days.Today.MR Moddax's limitless question lead us to talk about if there is objective news in this society.In my opinion,there is. The news made according to the true information is always objective.It report the true,reader can't get any personal emotion and political color in it.However,doesn't every media make it.Most of the media report things which is good to them.Even though the news is negative to them original,but they will change it so that the news seem not nagetive to them and reliable.To change it ,the righteous media train the reporter more rigid,to make them report things without their own emotion although it may decrease auditorium's interest.

It was the third outside class.
First,we had a quiz.It might not be a quiz,for it was one question only.Why I would think MR Maddox would ask that question?Because when we predict something,we often predict it with our experience.For example ,I would think of that because in last two weaks quize,It happend.
Then we talked about which kinds of news were ture and how it became ture for us.It depends.In my opinion,we thought something was true as we knew the news source was authoritative or it spreaded around so that we was influnced to consider it true."History was wrote by the victory."I believe this saying always.In all countries,no history books don't say their uptodate goverments were unsuccessful or wicked.To know more about the trues,we shouod look for news from different places ,futhermore,practise is the only way to justify things.

What a cold day.
Today,we talked about the written language and oral language.Most of us thought written is better because it make things endless and easy to understand.Also,it is more easy to see the things behind the paper than think about it in a short time during speaking.However,there are some advantages in speaking English.For example,when our precessdors told stories to their children,it might contain just one meaning.As the society changed and people's mind were changing,they always came up with new morals for the stories and told them to us.This kind of change make the story rich and meaningful.
Deeply talking,we talked about what kind of news we get is more truely and how it became the best.Through that 2 questions"Why USA invaded ERAQ " and "Did USA lose the Vietnam wars". I realize that why we believe something is true mostly affected by the way we get the news.

It is a outside class again.
Word:anthropomorphic
1. We talked about our own creation stories and why they last for a long time.Because their are some deep meaning in ,such as humanity,science.
2.I think bodiless god is more powerful,because he create and control everything just by his intelligence.He doesn't need to use giagantic appearance to frighten others.He just like a smart elder,everything was behind his old appearance.

We had a 20 minutes class today.Before Mr maddox came,we had a thesis discussion.
1.Why all the creation stories have same elements?
It shows that creation stories created according to some warranty.The stories creator knew water is must for humans,so we are made of it.Meanwhile,they were created for some reasons.For example,It can be the means to control people's mind and behave themselves.In some religious area,it even can improve the ruler class's power and authority.

it was a outside class today.
Word:android Identity atheism
1.What is community of color?what is colored community?(it seems confusing)
2.How to describe ourselves.
To describe ourselves,we should tell our community which related to where you come fron,where you live.It is hard to make others clearly who you are when it is the first few times you met.Maybe we should tell our names,sex,states.That is enough.To make it completely,we can add our hobbies,school,family to it.
3.We talked about atheism.
In most of parts of european and american believe there is a God in this world.It may caused by their culture.Religion are the most important means to unify the country,it is used so far.However, it changed in China.China education tells us believing in religion doesn't help.In western,people think god can relieve thrie guity.It is totally different in China.

Today I got a B finally !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1.What's the creation story in our country?
There are 2 the most famous in China.Thinking about the story,it must be created by human them selfves without ancestor's record.Because they are created with scientific foundation .For example,in every story,water comes first.It is easy to be considered as artificial story.
2.The common element in almost creation story are:a powerful creator,water,animals.
3.I think in these cases,animals are represented as people because they were given personalities in stories.It might imply that animals are the example of ourselves.We have the same characteristic with them,and we must learn how to avoid the tragical things happen to them.
word:hierarchy--means different levels or arrangements.

It's was a awful quiz today,I have no idea about it,not for the difficulties,but for the strange questions.
Then we talked about out responsibility to our community and what is a community.It is hard to identify what a community is.In my opinion,in different situations, we are in the different communities.Community is a specific place that we contacted with other people.It can a school,class,even a room.
Why I get B- ?

1.How people change other's chemical reaction to influence them?
When people talk,speak,even a common action,can influence other's feeling.For example,when a woman is having lunch,she happen to see a man smiling at her .Some chemical reaction has been reacted in her body,then she may ask herself:Why he smiled at me ?Did he want to meet me?Did he like me?Even though it is just a common ,human being will think of so many things.
2.What is a community ethic?
3.Is religion totally opposite to science?
It depends.For example,in modern history,Christian used to use geography theory to control the people,even though it is partly wrong.In most of time,science is against religion,so many people say we should believe science instead of religion.
